[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at the PMF reports, annual reports and budget. Review each school's assessment tools that they use and the corresponding efficacy reports.  Also look at the report cards on my school dc site. Also compare MV and IT with other schools using the same resources. I was surprised at the results but stats trump "feelings" for me. [/quote]

IT has higher 2013 scores than Mundo Verde comparing the lower grades. Not only did IT have higher criteria (they set their targets at 70% whereas Mundo Verde set theres at 60%), IT had more than 99% proficency in lower grades whereas Mundo Verde had 95%.

I don't know what you're looking at, but from what I see IT is ahead. I don't put much stake in these reports but sense you brought it up I thought I'd double check.[/quote]
This is not correct. For 2013 IT reported that 61.9% of first graders are on grade level for reading. MV reported that 82% are on grade level for reading. MV also measured math, which IT did not measure, which I find interesting. The numbers you cite regard overall student growth. At any rate just because you or other posters don't find statistics beneficial or important does not mean that the information is not beneficial to others. I find it extremely helpful especially when all we hear about both schools is how great they are and how great their models are but there are no absolute facts to look at. This is important to me also when trying to decide between neighborhood DCPS which has gobs of data and untested/unproven charters. [/quote]

IT is ahead in lower grades and Mundo Verde is ahead in upper grades (which makes sense if you look at the make-up of the classes and what they brought with them to the schools when they entered.)

I was comparing IT & Mundo Verde in the lower grades because I assumed that's where your child would be (PS3 - 1st grade). If your child is in 1st grade and up, then yes Mundo Verde would be higher proficiency. IT is higher from a statistical standpoint, but again I don't think these things matter much.[/quote]
